Answer» Correct Answer - A (A) It is molten mixture of alumina and cryolite (B)`2PbS+3O_2to2PbO+2SO_2` `PbS+2PbOto3Pb+SO_2`(self reduction) `PbO+C to Pb+CO`(carbon reduction)m (C )`ZnO+C to Zn+CO`(carbon reduction) (D)`4Au(s)+8CN^(-)(aq)+2H_2O(aq)+O_2(aq)to4[Au(CN)_2]^(-)(aq)+4OH^(-)(aq)`-leaching `2[Au(CN)_2]^(-)(aq)+Zn(s)to2Au(s)+[Zn(CN)_4]^(2-)(aq)`-reduction |
